Dec 22 at 12:25; room to be announced.(*) Don't skip any labs. Makeups are freely given — if you miss a lab due to research activities orillness, please see the instructor as soon as possible.(**) The homework is assigned two ways. Each week in the laboratory, there is a worksheet thatyou must complete and turn in before the laboratory. Some weeks, this is difficult enough that itconstitutes the ‘homework’ for that week. Other weeks, homework problems will be assigned onTuesday in class and due the following Tuesday in class. Late homework will be accepted only ifthere is a research or illness- based excuse.Physics 623 Lectures and Labs — Fall 2006Week Date Lecture Topic (Tues+Thur) Lab (Wed) Laboratory Text reference1 Sept 5 Linear Circuit Theory DC Sept. 6 Hands-On Introduction Ch. 1Sept. 7 Linear Circuit Theory AC2 Sept 12 Transmission Lines Sept. 13 Transmission Lines HandoutSept. 14 Intro.- Basics- Ohm’s Law Ch. 13 Sept. 19 Transistor Amplifier Sept. 20 Transistor Amplifier Ch. 2Sept. 21 Difference/Cascade Amplifier Ch. 24 Sept. 26Neg.
